The Buffalo Bills are coming off a dominant performance over the Houston Texans, winning 40-0. They have been on fire over the past three weeks after losing in week one. The Bills have proven that they are a contender in the AFC and will have a big test against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Although the Chiefs have started the season 2-2, they are still one of the league's best teams. They have made two straight Super Bowls and three straight AFC Championship games. Patrick Mahomes has led their offense to an elite level over the past few years. This game is a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game, and it should be a great game. With that said, here are four bold predictions for the Bills' Week 5 game against the Chiefs.

Bills Week 5 Predictions
4. Bills rush for over 100 yards
The Bills rushing attack has picked up over the last few weeks, which has helped the offense improve. Zack Moss and Devin Singletary have been splitting carries in the backfield, with Allen getting rushes as well. This new balanced attack makes it hard for defenses to keen in on their elite passing game.
The Chiefs defense has struggled so far this season, allowing 31.3 points per game (ESPN Stats). Buffalo should take advantage of this and have a field day on the ground.
3. Stefon Diggs torches Chiefs secondary
Stefon Diggs is one of the best wide receivers in the league and is a matchup nightmare. Diggs is an elite route runner that is always able to get himself open for Allen. Last week, Diggs had seven receptions for 114 yards in the Bills blowout victory.
With the Chiefs struggling on defense, Diggs should be able to torch their secondary.
2. Bills defense forces multiple turnovers
The Bills' defense has been phenomenal so far this season. They have created lots of turnovers this season, including five against the Texans. With elite players at every level, the Bills are not only able to dominate offensively but also defensively.
The Chiefs have also been loose with the football this season, fumbling and Mahomes throwing uncharacteristic interceptions. With the Chiefs' turnover struggles and the Bills' elite defense, they should force multiple turnovers.
1. Josh Allen outperforms Mahomes
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are two of the best players and quarterbacks in the league. These two are bound to have a big quarterback duel on Sunday, which could lead to a high-scoring game. While Mahomes may be the better player, Allen has the advantage in this matchup. The Chiefs' defense is atrocious, and the Bills' defense has been elite, making it hard for Mahomes to have a dominant performance.
Allen was the runner-up for MVP last season, only behind Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He's a great passer and a threat in the run game, making him difficult for defenses to stop.
The Chiefs will have their hands full on Sunday as teams are finally catching up to them. They have been dominant over the past few years, but now teams like the Bills are ready to take them down. Mahomes and the Chiefs will still be great, but the Bills are the better team now. Look for the Bills to take down the Chiefs in a close matchup on Sunday.
